ARTHUR COCHRAN ' Captain pvarsity Soccer VVENTY-FIVE candidates reportect in the fan, hopeful of gaining berths on the varsity eleven. Unly two veterans were available for service-Larry Trantor and Art Cochran. Around these men Coach-gDonIon had to build a new team. Two of ttre regulars had never witnessed a soccer game. ' Rider stiovvect great offensive power with its effective passing attack, but the power seemect to fail whenever they were in scori-ng position. As a rsult, the squad lost its opening game to the New York Stock Exchange, 3'-O. i Featuring again the fast, clever pass- ing attaclc of the forwarcl wan, a scoreless tie was the result of the game with the Princeton Jayvees, played at Princeton. ' Because of the keen rivalry between the two colleges in the past, the trigtiligtit ofthe season was the game with the Strouds- burg State Teachers, College, played on the home field. 'Though Coach Donlon has been striving to defeat them for five years, the result was a i-1 tie. An aggressive University of Delaware team upset Rider by an early attack and handed the visiting Trentonians a 1-0 defeat in' the seasonts final game. 130

Midget,, Collins won the SSO, Jack Pierson took the shot-put event, and Cliff Tomlinson tied with a Juniata tracic- man for the pole vault event. Niany of the cindermen this year were freshmen and had had tittle or no experience. This was the main reason many a win- ning point was lost. John Pittman, a hurdier, had never known what a high hurdle looked like hefore this year. The same was true with the men entered in the field events. Nlany of the track- men had never run across the Cinder path, or competed with other coiieges. But with Tommy Thorn, undefeated hy any hut two Qlympic runners, to huild a team around next year, as well as with hacking hy Stu Giiiard, Art Giantz, and Jimmie Collins, and with several veterans for field events, the prospects for the 1938 season iooics very tori ght. 129

Two other games were scheduled, one with the Penn A. C., and the other with Princeton Seminary. These were cancelled as it would have meant a conflict with the opening of the basket- hall season. As several memhers of the varsity eleven were also on the hoop squad, it was deemed hest to cancel the games. Outstanding among the players for the season were the following: Captain Cochran, Bin Joseph, and HQuinnyH Ntaher. Bocuilis and Browne also showed aggressiveness. Donlon has no regrets over the performance of his charges. Next year with this experienced squad, the Riderites should have a team that will really go places.
